On the Erdinger, are we?

I've been in touch with Google for you. It's working again

Can't beat a stumpjob.

I found some details about my Great Grand Uncle Henry who served and was killed on the first day of the Somme. He volunteered at Washington in September 1914 , joining the Border Regiment and saw his first action at Gallipoli in June 1915, surviving that he saw action at Suvla and had further training at Suez, before being shipped to France. The Regimental War Diary entry for 1st July 1916 is as follows, The bit in bold is the part that got me- the gaps in the wire were ranged by the German machine gunners the day before , and the brass were aware of it. Those poor buggers who made it through were then under orders to advance at a slow walk- running wasn't the done thing. Of 839 men from the Regiment , only 200 made it unscathed. All this took place in half an hour. Henry's body was never recovered and his name is on the memorial to the missing at Thiepval Dan Snow can fuck off

.... st ? I know you're excited, but howay.

That was the programme in a nutshell

If only, this thread wouldn't have been needed

Love that he snuck a "derp" face in (at 31seconds in). Special

Another child born into poverty Tragic.

I'm sure he's been referred to as "that bull's knacker" on here before.

Just watching "Don't Look Down" on C4 , about some kid from Southampton who climbs big cranes. I'll be amazed if some daft tit doesn't kill themselves within the next few weeks/months, trying to replicate it.
